Nice stuff

so true!

GP,
good stuff. those Mattlures are great baits. tie on that baby bass and hold on tight

What reels does the T3 gang recommend for the Evergreen Temujin Amazon Flip "Balista"? Would Antares DC or Conquest DC be viable choices? What size Conquest DC? depending on what baits you will be using with this rod an Antares DC would be a good choice. ideally i would recommend the Conquest/Conqu...

Yup, those are it. They decided to use those reel seats for price reasons. yeah, i noticed that too. Megabass is still making great rods but i honestly feel that the golden days are behind them now. they are growing and it looks like they are going to make adjustments like that to their line ups. k...

good stuff JA,
i bet you felt like Yuki Ito for a second with that setup

Is there anything an Ito 103M can't do?

it can't cast for you like this sweet piece of engineering. . .

shhhhh!

btw- congrats on landing your first swimbait fish. i'll be looking forward to hearing more about it

nice Delta fish

nice TJ bass

Zillion HLC will may be a good choice!? :D i like the HLC alot. in fact i am going to get one as soon as they start to ship but i don't think it will make a good swimbait reel either. i think it is better to just get used to the extra weight of a proper swimbait reel rather than sacrifice performan...

LMFAO. . .

or you can tell them that the water is "plenty warm over here"

Daiwa Big Bait special.... i wouldnt recommend this either. for one it is too expensive. it's been around for awhile now (years) and it isn't very popular in the swimbait scene. even in the Japanese blogs i dont see it being used very often. in the Japanese blogs the Conquest's are what you always ...

If you want to try a low-profile the only one beefy enough I can think of is the Abu Revo with that 20+lb drag. dont forget the Curado 300DSV. also, guys, dont forget that it's not just all about the drag. is the drag what is motivating you guys to recommend the Revo for swimbaits? what about the i...

There aren't many NJ bass, in my experience that is, that are as big and beautiful as a pride of Georgia watermelon. I guess the bass didn't engulf the bait as well as I thought because when she turned and headed toward Delaware, my line went limp and she was gone. Needless to say, my heart was in ...
